Rebecca Fenney: The Other Side of Your Favourite MAFS UK Star — HYROX, Fitness & Beauty

Atalanta

About

This week we’re joined by Rebecca Fenney, known to many from Married at First Sight UK — but this conversation goes far beyond what you see on screen.


Rebecca opens up about how fitness has been a constant through her life, even when routine, structure and training were taken completely out of her control. We talk honestly about what it was really like trying to train while filming a reality TV show, why the gym became a rare safe space during that time, and how losing her usual fitness routine affected her both mentally and physically.


We also get into all things HYROX — how she trains, how she approaches race day, running vs strength, race strategy, favourite trainers, race-day outfits, and the little things that make a big difference when you’re on the start line.


She shares why her online presence is rooted in inspiring women — especially those over 30 — to know that it’s never too late to start, reset, or try something new. We also dive into juggling a full-time career as an aesthetics nurse alongside training, why fitness doesn’t always have to be the main focus, and how she’s learned to let it ebb and flow with life.


This is a grounded, refreshing conversation about strength, identity, and using fitness as a way to feel like yourself again.
